aaaahhh. There is the question. I've tried incubation temps from 78 - 82 with similar results. I don't think brumation temps have anything to do with hatch rates or kinks 5 months later unless your getting all infertile eggs. I think the key with brumation temps is that your snakes don't lose body weight vs. they don't die from respiratory infections or outright freeze to death. I've tried vermiculite and perlite as an incubation substraight. I like perlite better. I may try no substraight next. Some people are throwing around the subject of diet now. I don't know what it is.
